Got a call from Mr. Worth today. He broke one of his routers that I helped him setup a while back. While we have recovered from such a breaking before I fear that this time it may not be possible. So far the usual and known fixes are not working.
The reset button and half duplex mode: failed.
Upload via tftp while router boots: failed miserably.
Shorting pins 15 and 16 on the flash memory: also failed.
Prayer: predictably, failed as well.
Grounding antenna to 16 on memory: failed too.
I've had hints of things maybe thinking about working. But nothing really meant it...
To bed i head.
